EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfred Markey, we are transported back to the 8th of September 1972, when Blackpool came to a mesmerizing standstill as Concorde graced the skies above. The entire town seemed to hold its breath in awe as every vantage point became occupied by eager onlookers yearning for a glimpse of this magnificent aircraft. The image perfectly encapsulates the excitement and anticipation that filled the air that day. Against a backdrop of Lancashire's picturesque seaside, Concorde soared gracefully, leaving trails of wonderment in its wake. Its sleek design and groundbreaking technology represented the pinnacle of aviation achievement during that era. Markey's expertly composed photograph not only captures the grandeur of Concorde but also immortalizes a moment frozen in time - an unforgettable chapter in Blackpool's history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it serves as a reminder of how transport has evolved over time and how moments like these can bring communities together. This Memory Lane Print is more than just a photograph; it is an invitation to reminisce about an era where dreams took flight and possibilities knew no bounds. It allows us to relive those precious seconds when Blackpool stood still, united by sheer admiration for human ingenuity and our unyielding desire to conquer new frontiers in aviation.
